“It is impossible to talk about the blues, country, or where the two might overlap without talking, explicitly or not, about race, authenticity, and contemporary America’s relationship to its past.” —@GeoffPMann on Hank Williams Jr.’s blues go.nybooks.com/3u5fbj9


In case folks are interested I have a new piece out on country music in @nybooks, which I hope you find worthwhile, even if it is not your thing. It is my thing. nybooks.com/articles/2023/…

Excellent review of Brett Christophers' and @gmorgenson's new books on the scourge of asset management thebaffler.com/salvos/kudzu-s…


Is there a better writer than @BaptisteOduor working right now? There can't be many. Seriously, he could write about paint drying and I would probably be riveted. newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…

What does U.S. climate politics look like after the IRA? I helped edit a special section for @DissentMag taking stock of the present moment, featuring many brilliant thinkers on a wide range of issues—online now!

NEW: A wealth tax on the super rich would raise an estimated $32 billion in the first year and $409 billion over ten years. Enough to pay for pharmacare, free tuition, 100K affordable homes per year & a major increase in public transit investment combined policynote.ca/wealth-tax-2/


A review of Earth Transformed. The editors chose a harsher way to describe it than I might have, but it's true I do have some serious concerns if the book is described as a "masterpiece". What it does do, I think, is epitomize the liberal understanding of climate change.

Hailed as a masterpiece, Peter Frankopan's sprawling climate book The Earth Transformed is a flawed history that has little to teach us, writes @GeoffPMann. newstatesman.com/ideas/2023/04/…



A new piece on the politics of economics in the @LRB. As always, apologies for the self-promotion but hoping it's of interest to some. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/…
